Pia Toscanomay be a singer, but she has other performers for her wedding in mind.

“Well, there might be a very special performer performing at my ceremony,” Toscano, 36, hints to PEOPLE.

“Might be David and Kat, but I probably shouldn’t say anything,” she continues.

Toscano — who was a contestant in season 10 ofAmerican Idol— says Foster is her “musical guardian angel,” so it makes sense that she would want him to be a part of her special day.

“I started listening to David’s music when I was just 4 years old,” the bride-to-be says. “The first song I ever sang was ‘I Will Always Love You.’ And I used to write to Oprah [Winfrey] and him, when he would bring all these amazing artists on theOprahshow, and I would send my demos, and of course no one ever got them. So when I didAmerican Idol, and I was introduced to David, it was like the biggest dream of mine and he’s truly changed my life.”

“He’s given me a second chance at my career, and I am so happy and so honored that he would let me be a part of his birthday celebration with this incredible lineup,” she adds.

Toscano, who sangCéline Dion’s “The Power of Love” and “All By Myself” at the party,got engagedto On Stage Audio executive vice presidentCarmen Educatein October 2023. She is now “very excited” to tie the knot.

She waspreviously marriedto dancer Jimmy R.O. Smith. The former couple wed in January 2017 but split three years later.

When asked about how she has time to plan a wedding with her busy schedule, Toscano admits, “Well, we don’t.”

Toscano’s “small, very intimate” wedding will take place in Nashville at the Hermitage Hotel.

But almost immediately after the wedding, it’s back to work for Toscano. In addition to writing and recording music for her new album coming out soon, the “Rhythm of the Water” singer is going back on tour withAndrea Bocelliin December.

So, honeymoon plans will be on hold until 2025.

“We’re going to go to Europe in March because we love Europe. We love London,” Toscano tells PEOPLE. “We’re just going to do a whole European getaway.”
